The Des Moines Art Center in Iowa is another art museum that
was designed by Richard Meier. Just like most of his buildings, you see his
signature style of white tile contrasted by stone and the differentiation of
shapes in terms of the actual architectural design. This building almost looks
like a smaller less complex version of his High Museum of Art in Atlanta. When
it comes to designing art museum, Meier seems to always take the same approach.
He seems to invite the person inside with its crazy design, however, once inside
it is noticed that there is not much to the interior design in terms of color
and other attribute like that and rather more on the piece of art that the
building holds. One cool feature of this building is the courtyard with the
contemporary looking reflecting pond in the middle, which creates a great place
for people to congregate and mingle after looking at all the interesting art.
